  Hot! 90s! (Not sure why the script didn’t go through one more round of revision.) Drama! Chicago!

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Feb 2025

  Was rocked by the acuity of this portrait of anxiety as prohibitive to experiencing the present moment. Very spiky.

  Portrait of a Lady on Fire 2019

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Aug 2023

  “And you don’t put your book down even after it ends,
  Smoke curls up from the table in your little quiet room
  …
  Just your smile lit a sixty-watt bulb in my house
  That was darkened for days
  Been thinking you probably should stay.”
  -Gregory Alan Isakov 

  This movie utterly wrecked me. Very uncool.
  Why do I love that it haunts me? 😢😔🙇🏻‍♂️
